Poems make a difference!

Poet Bio: Caitlin Gildrien came from the ocean and settled at the feet of Vermont's Green Mountains. She is a writer and graphic designer, recently and perhaps futurely but not currently a farmer – plus mother, wife, board vice-president, PTO chair, official family frog-catcher, and just five minutes late to every damn place she's supposed to be. She has studied poetry between the covers of many books and Moleskine journals. Her poems have recently appeared in Alligator Juniper and Trumped, the first volume of the Poets Speak anthology series. You can find her at cattailcreative.com.

Your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.

Tupelo Press provides the canvas, I bring my words, accompanied by other fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 90 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all while helping Tupelo Press publish exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.

For those who want a semi-tangible reward for their efforts, Kickstarter-style:

• $15: You get to choose the title or subject of a poem.
• $30: Title/subject, plus you give me three words to incorporate.
• $50: You choose a poem and I'll turn it into some kind of visual art, either digital or physical: write it onto a watercolor, make an Instapoem, use collage, etc., which I'll send to you.

Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!
